Whats the TONE and SYMBOLISM in Cupid and Psyche by Sally Benson? URGENT!!!

English
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]2 years ago
3 0

The basic symbolism of the song is that love wins and conquers all and everyone.

The song is written in the first face of the point of view. The tone is angry and sad because the speaker is ashamed of letting someone find himself between him and his love. He is angry with the man who took his love, though he does not blame the other for the fall of his love. Phyche, the main character, seeks love. She finds it but does not recognize it, which makes Cupid get upset and leaves. Phyche gets three tasks from her mother Venus, which she has to fill in to get him back. The gods help her in the task.

In addition to this, there are also symbols:

Phyche-Soul

Venus-Love

Royal Shepherd - Minerva and Juno

as well as the archetypal picture of falls, when Phyche of the princess becomes a servant because she has to perform tasks.

What quote from the text supports the meaning of Welkin?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:We don’t use this much nowadays — dictionaries usually tag it as archaic or literary — except in the set phrase make the welkin ring, meaning to make a very loud sound.

What supposedly rings in this situation is the vault of heaven, the bowl of the sky, the firmament. In older cosmology this was thought to be one of a set of real crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if you made enough noise.

The word comes from the Old English wolcen, a cloud, related to the Dutch wolk and German Wolke. Very early on, for example in the epic poem Beowulf of about the eighth century AD, the phrase under wolcen meant under the sky or under heaven (the bard used the plural, wolcnum, but it’s the same word). Ever since, it has had a strong literary or poetic connection.

It appears often in Shakespeare and also in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales: “This day in mirth and revel to dispend, / Till on the welkin shone the starres bright”. In 1739, a book with the title Hymns and Sacred Poems introduced one for Christmas written by Charles Wesley that began: “Hark! how all the welkin rings, / Glory to the King of kings”. If that seems a little familiar, it is because 15 years later it reappeared as “Hark! the herald-angels sing / Glory to the new born king”.

The excerpt is taken from Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech to the Second Virginia Convention in
Kazeer [188]

The sentence which suggests that Patrick Henry believed British rule in the American colonies was tyrannical is:

 "We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts."  

Patrick Henry in his famous speech “Give me liberty, or give me death!” says that there lies a correct time to attain peace. He uses his power of persuasion to keep his thoughts before people. According to him, he would rather opt for death than to be a slave of any other people. He adds that his freedom can never be counted on materialistic terms. No one has the right to buy anyone's freedom. He can either opt for war or die in order to attain freedom.

How does love emerge? What does it take succeed in love?
Mrac [35]

It depends on what kind. sibling love is when 2 or more siblings have a strong bond with each other. It really is the same with parents. Romance love, now that's hard I guess it emerges when people go out with each other. Best friends can become a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship. The only way to succeed in love is when you actually love the person you love because of her characteristics, not her looks or fame. People may be mean at first but it's most likely something happened to them. Then there's lust. Lust is when 2 people want each other but don't love each other.True love is only when you and your love been thru a lot with each other and are still together.
